Why don't you go to a board where someone might care about your choices?

Well, first off, i dont think you should buy any of those cars FOR COLLEGE. The last thing college people need (IMO) is a car that has expensive repairs and maintanence. College people need to focus on studying and social stuff.

Now, if you dont think that the above matters to you, then the TT Z all the way....Reason being: DSM's break down all the time (in my expereince), Corrodo is Front wheel drive (boring <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'>), and the other ones you listed wouldent even be that much fun!

P.S. Im in college right now.

Since you're in college, the choice is clear: The Prelude.

It looks nice enough to be a "nice" car, but not nice enough to be a "showy" car.  Those who like it will like it, and those who don't probably won't notice it - this is quite possibly most true of cops and campus security.  Lastly, and most importantly, it's a Honda which means (aside from Jeff's about to get flamed) it'll be reliable and cheap to maintain.  In college, that, more than anything else, matters.

If you're on some kind of full-ride scholarship, and/or just plain don't care about money, I'll third the TTZ suggestion.  It's beautiful in every way.  Plus, your bank will love you.  =)

Funny, the Corrado is the best looking car of all your choices and it's in the "to go fast" list... if you want a fast Corrado get the VR6, it's both quicker AND more reliable than the G-lader.

If I was in your position, in that price range I'd buy a GTI VR6 or an S14 240SX...

Suggestion, your in college.   Most if not all of my college homies are drunks.  Now if you are responsible enough and it wont cramp your budget, ttz.  But if your not too responsible, and DONT hand you keys over, get the cheapest POS you can find.  You should understand also that college is no joke, that is your life.   You are ACTUALLY shaping the way your life will roll on for ever and ever... minus the lottery or a lawsuit.  Think what car would benefit you financially and economically.  You dont need a show ride, you need a No. 2 pencil and some wide-rule Mead notebooks.

Eclipse GSX cost a lot to maintain and aren't very reliable.
they're pretty fast though, but there are better cars out there.

do NOT buy a Corrado.  pure garbage.  i worked for VW for three years.  just take my word for it.  you will rue the day you ever bought it.  i recommend the prelude out of those.  but i still think you'd have more fun with a 240

Well that was uncalled for. He just merely meant go find out info about the cars at each of thier own forums. It will give you the best idea of what car you should get. We here at Zilvia like 240s, and Nissans. So that is why we prefer the TTZ.

EDIT: Hope to persuade your vote.
